  • From https://www.anwalt.org/tor-browser/

    German law gives the citizen a certain amount of room for manoeuvre in safeguarding his own rights on the Internet. Encryption, proxy connections and other measures that also use the darknet and Tor browser are legal. Encryption of data and connections is even described in the laws on data protection as a necessary protective measure.

    The setting up and operation of a highly encrypted network is not prohibited. This is exactly what the Onion network represents: A parallel network to the well-known Internet, which redirects the otherwise direct requests and thus obscures the sender. In addition to the redirection, relatively secure encryption methods are added, so that none of the transmitters ever have the plain text in front of them.

    I2p, unlike Tor, has the advantages that it is less known and the nodes are not in a public list; as an i2p node operator, you would have enough time to react if the darknets were to be taken against.
